The Art of the Cookie Jar

enamel paint for painting on glass

base coats

Adding some other colors...red, yellow, blue, green

splatters!

All done

I had a quick commission to do for someone...I had to decorate this cookie jar. There is a special enamel paint that will stay on glass really well. I put down the base colors, and then added as it dried. I hope she likes it!

Trip to Scandinavia

2017 Trip

I have scheduled our trip for 2017. We are going to tour the capitals of all the Scandinavian countries. The trip departs on June 22 and is 2 weeks. You can check it out on www.goaheadtours.com Just search for Scandinavia, and it will come up. I will be sketching and painting along the way, as we sight see and tour these interesting countries. It will be a "cool" getaway for those of us in the South in the summer! Let me know if you think you might want to go with us. If you sign up early, you can make payments all year long. Email me or contact me at the gallery, or on Facebook: Gail Hindelang Shelton
